Well I finally woke up... I was out like a log.
This drive was absolutely the most fun I've had with my car. It deffinately felt like we were doing an unnofficial rally. Thank you Rich for organizing the great day and thanks to everyone who made it out. I enjoyed meeting the rest of you crazy people willing to do this with their cars. I'm also impressed that everyone managed to stay on the road.... well for the most part anyway .

BTW:

WEEEEEEEEEEE


And awwww damn.... get the zip ties!


Man... a subaru losing a part through a water crossing... I felt just like Petter Solberg

You don't need raised springs. Me and the other wagon were both lowered a bit and did fine. I do have a skid plate and deffinately used it a couple times. I would recommend just spending the money on that.

Thanks

I'm with Ed...most fun I've ever had in my car with track time being a close 2nd.

I've got some pics I'm gonna try to upload, but I'm not to familiar with this board. If anyone has anymore pics, especially with my car in them , let's see 'em.

Big ups to Rich. What a blast. I'm most impressed with my car. I can't believe how much abuse she took. She seemed to actually enjoy herself. So this is why I bought a car with rally heritage.

Nice meeting you guys and gals too. Hope to do it again SOON!

Look again more closely...


Your old yellow rotas are stripped and going to a powder-coater soon.
I was on stockers with new KDWSs on 'em. (woot)


You'd have to talk to Rich-I about the yellow wheels.

I must be going blind. :x

So where are you getting them powder coated and how much? I need to strip the paint on these Prodrive P1s and get them re-painted. I might just do a spray can job though.
